Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.

The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Rationale for reliability incl. deficiencies:
guideline study
Qualifier:
according to guideline
Guideline:
EU Method A.14 (Explosive properties)
Deviations:
no
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The test procedure described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.14 need not be carried out when examination of the structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that the substance has no explosive properties.
The reactive groups are listed e.g. in Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, on page S20 ff, 5 th edition, 1995, Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford.
GLP compliance:
yes
Parameter:
other: More sensitive to shock than m-dinitrobenzene
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Parameter:
other: More sensitive to friction than m-dinitrobenzene
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Parameter:
other: Explosive under influence of flame
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)
Parameter:
other: Explosive (not specified)
Remarks on result:
negative (not further specified)

The test substance contains none of the reactive groups that could be responsible for explosive properties. Therefore explosive properties of the test substance are unlikely.

The test substance is not classified as explosive.

Interpretation of results:
GHS criteria not met
Conclusions:
The test substance is not classified as explosive.
Executive summary:

The test procedure described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.14 need not be carried out when examination of the structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that the substance has no explosive properties.

The test substance contains none of the reactive groupsthat could be responsible for explosive properties. Therefore explosive properties of the test substance are unlikely.

The test substance is not classified as explosive.

Description of key information

Explosive Properties (Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 Annex VIII REACH). The test substance contains none of the reactive groups that could be responsible for explosive properties. Therefore explosive properties of the test substance are unlikely. 

Key value for chemical safety assessment

Explosiveness:
non explosive

Additional information

The test procedure described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.14 need not be carried out when examination of the structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that the substance has no explosive properties. The reactive groups are listed e.g. in Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, on page S20 ff, 5 th edition, 1995, Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford.

The test substance contains none of the reactive groups that could be responsible for explosive properties. Therefore explosive properties of the test substance are unlikely.

Justification for classification or non-classification

The test procedure described in Regulation (EC) No 440/2008, method A.14 need not be carried out when examination of the structural formula established beyond reasonable doubt that the substance has no explosive properties. The reactive groups are listed e.g. in Bretherick's Handbook of Reactive Chemical Hazards, on page S20 ff, 5 th edition, 1995, Butterworth-Heinemann, Oxford.

The test substance contains none of the reactive groups that could be responsible for explosive properties. Therefore explosive properties of maleic acid are unlikely.

The test substance is therefore not classified as explosive.
